this is what i heard.....................
''All living beings; whether they have form or not; whether they are aware or unaware, will be led to the final Nirvana. When this infinite number of living beings have been liberated, in truth not a single being has been liberated."
"Why? Because if a disciple still clings to the arbitrary illusions of form or phenomena such as an ego, a personality, a self, a separate person, or a universal self existing eternally, that person is not a true disciple."
The Buddha : "When you see all that has a form is illusive and unreal, you begin to perceive your true Buddha nature."
''Those who believe in the words and phrases of this Sutra will awaken their minds purely. They will be inspired with belief because they will intuitively know these words are the truth."
"Any person who awakens faith upon hearing the words or phrases of this Sutra must have discarded all arbitrary notions of the existence and non-existence of a personal self, of other people, or of a universal self. Otherwise their minds would still grasp after such relative conceptions.''
''Anyone who seeks total Enlightenment should discard not only all conceptions of their own selfhood, of other selves, or of a universal self, but they should also discard all notions of the non-existence of such concepts."
The Buddha continued, "All Buddhas and all teachings and values of the highest, most fulfilled, most awakened minds arise from the teachings in this Sutra. Yet, I must take back my words as soon as they are uttered, for there are no Buddhas and no teachings."
"A disciple should not allow their mind to depend upon ideas evoked by sounds, odors, flavors, sensory touch, or any other qualities. If the disciple's mind depends upon anything in the sensory realm it will have no solid foundation in any reality. This is why Buddha teaches that the mind of a disciple should not accept the appearances of things as a basis when exercising charity. Just as the Buddha declares that form is not form, he also declares that all living beings are, in fact, not living beings."
The Buddha said: "There does not exist any so-called highest, most fulfilled, and awakened mind that the Buddha attains. There is, in fact, nothing to be attained. Someone would be mistaken to say that the Buddha has attained the highest, most fulfilled, and awakened mind because there is no such thing to be attained."
''A true disciple knows there is no such thing as a self, a person, a living being, or a universal self. A true disciple knows that all things are devoid of selfhood, devoid of any separate individuality."
"All modes, conceptions and tendencies of thought are not mind. And yet they are called 'mind'. It is impossible to retain a past thought, to seize a future thought, and even to hold onto a present thought."
The Buddha said: "although people grasp after an arbitrary conception of matter and galaxies, the concept has no true basis; it is an illusion of the mortal mind."
"People ought to realize that all things and spiritual truths are NO-THINGS, and not to conceive within their minds any arbitrary conceptions whatsoever."
"So I say to you - This is how to contemplate our conditioned existence in this fleeting world:"
"Like a tiny drop of dew, or a bubble floating in a stream;
Like a flash of lightning in a summer cloud,
Or a flickering lamp, an illusion, a phantom, or a dream."
"So is all conditioned existence to be seen."
Thus spoke the Buddha.
